CCTV wireless

[seasickstevie]

I need to send CCTV video from two cameras and audio across about 30m (across a road).

I'm using good quality cameras (which I've already got) so just need the radio gear for the two cameras.

Any suggestions as to what I need & where to go for it?

Don't want to break the bank, but obviously wouldn't want the neighbours tuning in!

It's amazing what turns up if you type "wireless cctv" into Google

Thats why he came on here asking for "expert" advice

Might as well close the forum as Google has all the answers.

Thank you mpg.
The thought had crossed my mind.

I've done the google bit, but it seems you can be paying megga-bucks, which is fair enough if it's unavoidable, but I'd like someone to point me in a direction of some affordable kit that would do the job.

Some will offer 3 mile range, but it's only across the road.

And I feel online connection in both buildings is a bit excessive.

There's got to be a simple solution.

...anyone?

Most of the decent stuff is usually only available through trade. With that in mind, decent usually costs.

Thanks youtekk.
Is there anything in particular (make/model) you've experience with?

mpg,
I think the term is 'put up or shut up'

I would be interested to know who you think I work for, go on let everyone know

Is it not possible to run a duct under the road or run an overhead line via two poles?

Used to work in a college where the site was spread across both sides of a road, the comms were run overhead but the poles were in need of replacing. Decided to have a duct run under the road and pulled all the comms through that, didn't really work out too expensive either.

Great idea, although I'm not sure if the Highways Agency would be keen on me digging up the road surface

Maplin electronics do some good gear at decent prices. (I say some but not all so be careful.)

You can get wirless transmitters and recivers or if you have power (which you need at both ends anyway, then an A/V sender may do the trick. These are quite directional and you can set the code.

As to "overhead" you are out of your league and will encourage the wrath of Councils etc.

Even though above I think it still comes under the Public Highways Act.

What exactly are you trying to do?

John.

Lol sorry should have been more clear, we didn't just dig the road up, we had permission from the council to run the duct under the road.

What's at each side of the road?

What are the cameras going to be connected to?

Just thinking that you can have then connected to a PC CCTV card & access the PC using a wireless router/access point on each?

Or even a DVR that has a ethernet port then plugged into an access point, you can then access it via your PC/wireless router.
